D Correct answer
Explanation

Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) airstrip in Ladakh is the world's highest airstrip at an altitude of approximately 16,614 feet. Located close to the Line of Actual Control with China, this strategic airstrip was reopened by India in 2008 and has since seen regular IAF operations including C-130J landings. The other options are also high-altitude airstrips in India but none match DBO's elevation.
